Ⅰ. 完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
What do you usually do in your free time? Would you like to learn
useful then?
When I was a little child, I learned many kinds of
, because I think they are very important. I learned
to do housework at home, some first aid(急救) and outdoor survival(生存) skills. There's one skill that's really
in everyday life—basic home repair(家庭基础维修).
Being able to take care of repairs around the house is very satisfying. It might be difficult
but when you know more about your tools, it becomes much easier. For example, I had some problems with the shower head(淋浴喷头) in my
a few days ago. I didn't call a repairman to replace(替换) it—who knows how much money the repairman would want me to pay for(付款) it? So I bought a new shower head and replaced it
.
The task was so simple that it only took me several minutes. As I fixed the new shower head to the wall, I felt a sense of achievement. Of course, there are lots of repairs that are more difficult. My brother, for example, has repaired the TV set in his house many times.
the help of online instructional videos, he has
thousands of dollars in repair fees(费用) over the years. Skills like these not only save us money, but more importantly, make us more independent and confident.
Doing chores around your house is easier than you
. Try it by yourself next time!
